Default Spark Plug Arrangement on Distributor

I have a 92 Hatchback VX model, with a 1.5 liter non-vtec engine. No modifications. I recently replaced the distributor and must have mixed up the arrangement of how the spark plug wires go back onto the cap. So, 3 questions;

What is the firing order for the cylinders?
What is the arrangement of spark plug wires onto the distributor cap?
Are there any websites that would provide a diagram to go along with your answers?

Now, I have already searched this topic and founf many conflicting opinions. So, please, ONLY POST ANSWERS IF YOU KNOW THEM FOR SURE. I do not want to sound rude, it's just I need factual information, not "I think" or "it should be". Thank you guys very much.

dont know if this is correct ofor your car but this is the arrangement on my B18C

2 - 3

1 - 4

as you look at the side of the distributor standing at the front passenger side wheel, #1 wire is bottom left, 2 top left, 3 top right 4 bottom right.

cylinders are numbered 4-3-2-1 from the distributor side towards the drivers side, so the bottom left plug wire (longest) goes to the furthest cylinder

Anybody else? Perhaps somebody with my exact motor or the knowledge on my exact motor? Is this right, or if not, what is?

Mugenracer-that may be right, but I just want to be sure that it is the same. Thank you for the answer, I just want to see if others know if they are the same.

The firing order is 1-3-4-2. The motor rotates CCW (viewed from the crank pulley side). So, if you look at it from the distributor side, the distributor rotor rotates CW.

#1 cylinder fire is the bottom left.

x-y
1-z

3-4
1-2

Thank you very much for the response so fast. Tomorrow, wen the sun is out, hopefully, I will be arranging in this order and hopefully getting the car running again. Once again, I appreciate this heavily.
